Does anyone have any insight on the dermatologist in Rijeka—Dr. Irena Stanić?
Can you see her using a referral, or is it strictly out-of-pocket?

had 150 guests and ordered about 45 pounds of sweets from the caterer—there was still plenty left sitting on plates at the tables, so yeah, people didn't finish everything.
everything came from this local boutique bakery👍, both the cake and the individual treats, and honestly? they were incredible.....they even handled all the plating for the venue and my house, plus I bought these cute little giveaway boxes from them for after the reception, and they even packed everything into those for me.
The cake was delicious—super clean and simple, since I'm not really into that tacky, over-the-top stuff. I just showed them a photo of what I wanted, but they're pretty easy to work with. I heard about them from a few other women on this forum and I'd definitely recommend them.

if you need anything else, just ask.....😉

Thanks!
20 kg for 150 people?! Wow, that's a massive difference from what I was planning. Did you give any away later, or was it all just for the hotel?
I'm assuming this little bakery is in Chicago 😢, so it doesn't really help me much right now!!

I forgot to mention that my estimate of 30 kg for 80 people includes the cocktail hour—you know, that gathering before the ceremony starts. 🤷
But I guess it's all basically the same thing anyway. 😕

Anyone here already been through the wedding planning madness who can give me some real advice on dessert catering? I need the actual numbers—like how much we ordered versus what actually got eaten, and how much ended up being wasted or left over.
thanks

they should just order out—or better yet, bake 50 pounds of cookies themselves!
What is wrong with people???

What can I even say? 😕I guess
it's just that classic corporate nonsense where they're terrified of making a mistake, so they insist on buying everything through official company channels and all that bureaucratic junk... ugh.
If they actually have a budget for sweets, they might as well pay for me to take a crazy trip somewhere lol. 😍

just aim for about 5 ounces per person.

Right?
Now I just have to explain that logic to our moms... good luck with that. :-)

How much dessert should I get for about 80 guests?
Our moms are insisting we need 30 pounds!! That seems like way too much to me, maybe? What do you guys think?
We aren't even planning on doing a formal dessert service, just having some extra on hand if someone happens to want something.
